This morning, the Daily Haymaker is running a story called ‘Kay Hagan Takes Manhattan‘. My first thought reading the title was of Muppets. I wasn’t far off the mark.

Excerpt:

Yes, my friends.  If you’re contemplating a run for one of North Carolina’s US Senate seats, the first thing that comes to mind — *naturally* — is heading out of state to campaign.  We’ve documented the fact that Thom Tillis took off for DC the first chance he got. Now, it appears that our very own Kay Hagan — affectionately known in many quarters as Chuck Schumer’s Sock Puppet™ –  has, like Green Acres’ Eva Gabor, fallen in love with Park Avenue:

 

Well, well, well… Kay’s hitting up NY Democrats for money? Not really shocked, but it’s definitely worth pointing out her hypocrisy again.  You see, Kay is wringing her hands over outside money in NC elections. Especially money that isn’t going to her.

From my inbox just yesterday:

Worth noting is the $1,000 donation recorded by the FEC to Hagan’s campaign in 2011 from NOMURA PAC, which is an Asian Holdings company out of Japan. I’d say that’s some pretty out-of-state money there, Kay. Will they be donating to you again this time?

Open Secrets lists NOMURA PAC’s details below:

FOREIGN PARENT COMPANY: Nomura Holdings
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Japan
Official PAC Name:
NOMURA HOLDING AMERICA INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (NOMURAPAC)
Location: WASHINGTON, DC 20004
Industry: Securities & Investment; Security brokers & investment companies
Treasurer: MYRICK, LAUREN MS.
FEC Committee ID: C00491951
(Look up actual documents filed at the FEC)

NOMURA PAC funnily enough seemed to donate more to Republicans in 2012 than it did to Democrats.  NOMURA’s contact information is a lobbyist named Julie Mulvee Herrera. You can view Herrera’s lobbying profile at Senate.gov.
